Chapter 862: Fighting the Alien Race
A sudden situation made Li Yong fall into thinking, how to take out the enemy's tank.
Li Yuming, who had been with Li Yong for a long time, was very familiar with the habits of his chief, and quietly reminded: "Brigade commander, didn't we capture a recoilless gun, and five shells, after the battle started, I will be responsible for these three tanks, and I promise to kill them." ”
That's right, how can I forget this, the team captured a recoilless gun on the beachhead of the Imjin River, or Li Yuming resisted all the way, no wonder this kid remembers so solidly, this recoilless gun is also the only special anti-armor weapon in the team now, with this cannon, Li Yong's heart has a little spectrum.
The three platoon commanders and the squad leaders of the two machine guns and small artillery squads were all called over, plus three people from the company headquarters, and several people squatted together to listen to Li Yong's layout of the battle plan.
"According to reconnaissance and analysis, the enemy has only one British battalion in the area of the Parliamentary Government, but the strength of this battalion is more than twice that of ours, so we can't fight hard with the enemy, my plan is to use the method of encircling three and putting one to defeat the enemy, not to strive for total annihilation, as long as the enemy is driven away, our purpose is to have supplies here, as long as the enemy is defeated, our intention will be achieved."
Everyone is a smart person, knowing how many pounds and taels they have, in the words of the soldiers, we can eat as much as we have a belly, and it is obviously not realistic to use a small detachment of more than 200 people to encircle and annihilate a British battalion of more than 100 people, and it is obviously not realistic to defeat it.
"Brigadier Commander, just say, what should we do. We will fight how you arrange it. Several squad leaders expressed their opinions.
"That's right, the three platoons have the most troops. The three rows are pressed from the front, and the first and second rows respond from the left and right wings. The three platoons should engage the enemy at the same time and fire at the same time, and when to start attacking is up to my orders. The machine gun and small artillery squad are responsible for suppressing the enemy's fire, and after the battle starts, you must fire at the maximum rate of fire, and your small artillery squad must shoot all the ammunition. ”
The three guard platoons of the squad were the most numerous with Ning Erzi's third platoon, and the strength of the whole platoon exceeded 100 people, so Li Yong let the third platoon be responsible for the frontal main attack, and the remaining two platoons responded from both sides. Use it all the time.
Li Yong's order made the squad leader of the small artillery squad a little anxious: "Brigade commander, brigade commander, there are not many shells in our squad, and if one guy shoots them all, our small artillery will have to be hung up and the bell will be ringed." ”
The squad leader of the artillery squad is an old soldier, who is very familiar with Li Yong, and has no scruples when he speaks.
The mortar shells were carried by the soldiers of the artillery squad with great painstaking efforts, starting from the breakthrough of the Imjin River and interspersed with dozens of kilometers of mountainous terrain, and the fighters were reluctant to throw away a single shell even after throwing away their backpacks. Even the instructor Li Jia helped carry two shots, and it was really distressing to hit all of them.
Li Yong understood the feelings of the old soldiers, artillery shells are precious, but the enemy on the opposite side is not the former bandits and local armed forces. Rather, it is an out-and-out regular army, and the biggest feature of fighting a war with the United Nations Army is firepower, and once the firepower cannot suppress the enemy's troops, it will suffer a big loss. So now it's not a question of how precious the shells are, Li Yong's principle is. As long as you have it in your hand, you must take it out and use it, even if you run out.
The third platoon Changning Erzi, who grabbed the main attack task, was in a good mood. Ning Erzi patted the artillery squad leader who was a little crying: "What are you in a hurry, isn't it just a few shells, no problem, our platoon is responsible for capturing it for you, and I promise to get you back the shells after the battle, and get back as many as you knock out." ”
Ning Erzi's promise made the artillery squad leader feel better: "Ning Erzi, you kid is good at talking, don't beat him." ”
Vice Minister Li was a little angry, did you say that the head of this artillery squad was a little unenlightened, who is the enemy we are going to attack? It's the defenders of the government, it's the rich and oily, and you still care about your three melons and two dates, as long as you can win the battle, you still have no shells? Depend on.
Li Yong continued to assign tasks: "Li Yuming is responsible for the attack of the three guard platoons, and the specific combat principle is to approach in concealment, close to the throwing distance of the grenade. ”
Li Yuming paused for a moment, it didn't seem that he had discussed with the brigade commander just now: "Brigade commander, didn't you say okay, I'll be responsible for killing the enemy's tanks, and you let me take three guard platoons to launch an attack, who will fight the tanks?" ”
"Who's going to hit the tanks? Isn't there still me, I take a combat group, a recoilless gun, responsible for dealing with the enemy's tanks, the battle is ordered by my recoilless gun fire, our anti-tank group is the first to fire, then the heavy machine gun covers the fire, and the artillery then carries out targeted elimination of the enemy's counterattack fire. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yong glanced at the squad leader of the artillery squad: "When will your artillery shells be finished, and when will the three guard platoons launch an attack, and strive to defeat the enemy in one charge, do you understand?" ”
Li Yong's voice is very clear, and the deployment is also in place, of course everyone can understand it, but let the brigade commander personally lead a combat team to fight tanks? Isn't this nonsense, you've seen who's brigade commander even fight tanks by himself, it's too dangerous.
It was the veterans who came to discuss the problem, and everyone knew how difficult it was for the infantry to fight tanks, and since the time of the Red Army, the most casualty battles in the troops were almost always related to the enemy's aircraft and tanks.
The first to shout out was the company commander Li Yuming: "Brigade commander, I can't agree with your decision, the enemy's tanks must be destroyed, but you can't go, my opinion is that I will lead an anti-tank team to deal with the enemy's tanks, and the deputy company commander He Cuihua will lead the troops to attack." ”
This is a good opinion, and it is also in line with the situation at the time, and He Cuihua's ability can completely replace Li Yuming, the company commander, but there is a problem that Li Yuming did not take into account.
The captured recoilless gun of the US army is a new thing, and there is no such equipment in the independent brigade in the great northwest, so no one in the squad has ever seen it, let alone used it, Li Yuming may be able to use it simply, but to say that only five shells can kill three M46s? But it's hard.
There is no time to practice, there is no opportunity to practice, and there are no shells to practice, so who among the more than 200 people in the squad has seen or used such equipment before? -- There is only one person.
Li Yong is a full-fledged military cadet, and he was once the commander of an infantry company of the People's Liberation Army, and of course he is very familiar with the light weapons of the infantry.
"You're going to fight tanks? Have you ever seen this thing? Do you know the technical parameters of the recoilless gun? Can you make sure that you will finish off all the enemy tanks with five shells?
Li Yong's questions made Li Yuming's mouth stammer.
"But, but."
"There is nothing to do, it was decided, I will lead a combat group to deal with the enemy's tanks, Li Yuming will lead the troops to attack, and Li Jia will be responsible for heavy machine gun and small artillery fire support."
This was Li Yong's final decision, everyone could only obey, slowed down his tone, Li Yong continued: "Comrades, since the establishment of our brigade in 47 years, there have been countless battles and casualties, but we ask ourselves, all the battles are fought in the country, we ...... We are fighting a civil war, and today -- we are going to face a real alien race, we are going abroad to fight against a foreign race, so this battle can only be won and not defeated, and some comrades will say, didn't we fight the enemy's planes, and we also fought a battle when we crossed the Imjin River, and ah, have we just dealt with dozens of South Korean routers? I said, it's nothing, it's not a real battle, it's just an appetizer before our meal, eating this British battalion is our main meal, comrades, do you have the confidence to swallow the enemy? ”
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, isn't it, when will our independent brigade call it a war by killing dozens of defeated soldiers of the enemy, and the next battle is a face-to-face hard work with the enemy, which is called a war.
The civil war is like a thorn in Li Yong's throat, which stimulates Li Yong's nerves all the time. Finally got a chance to pull this thorn out.
"He Cuihua, come with me." After a brief battle mobilization, Li Yong took the deputy company commander He Cuihua and a dozen soldiers of a combat group to quietly move forward.
The sky became darker and darker, and the more than 200 fighters of the squad outflanked them from three sides, and with the help of the cover of night, the soldiers approached meter by meter, and when they were close enough to crawl forward on the ground at a certain distance, Li Yong's order was that the three guard platoons of the squad should approach the distance of throwing grenades.
The farthest record of the grenade can reach more than 60 meters, but that is the achievement of a very small number of people, and the most effective combat distance is only 30 or 40 meters, so the fighters of the three guard platoons must approach the combat distance of no more than 40 meters from the enemy, which is the most critical distance, as long as they can reach the position in concealment, according to Li Yong, the victory has already been half of the hand.
Dragging the barrel of the recoilless gun, Li Yong and He Cuihua took more than a dozen soldiers to crawl on the ground like everyone else, and the recoilless gun will have a tail flame several meters long when it is fired, so the choice of the firing position is very important.
Closer, less than a hundred meters away from the enemy's tank, the huge body of the M46 can be seen clearly even in the dark night, Li Yong chose to start from the side armor of the M46, the front armor with a thickness of 115 mm may not be able to penetrate even the recoilless gun in his hand.
